Humanism is way of thinking. Humanists believe that right is what pleases man and wrong is anything that man dislikes. They don't believe in God. It is a way of thinking and therefore isn't able to be studied by science. Basically if it is an ideal or emotion it can't be studied in science.

Is Philosophy a science or is it more than a science?

Philosophy is not considered a science in the traditional sense because it does not rely on empirical methods like observation and experimentation. Instead, it focuses on questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language that are often beyond the scope of scientific inquiry. It can be seen as a distinct and complementary discipline to the sciences.


Why is philosophy considered to be a science?

Most scientists and most philosophers would not consider philosophy to be a science. However, both science and philosophy are characterized by very careful thought and analysis and scholarship. Both are engaged in an effort to understand the universe in which we live. However, scientists emphasize observation, while philosophers emphasize abstract thought. There is certainly some overlap between these subjects, and there is even such a subject as the philosophy of science. There is not, however, a science of philosophy.


Can you explain Science without philosophy is blind and philosophy without science is empty?

Science without philosophy has no guide (is blind). It researches pointless things rather than what we want to know, like the origin of the universe and how to stop global warming. Philosophy without science has no substance (is empty): As an example, more than 2000 years ago, the Grecian philosopher Democritus came up with the idea of atoms, but it was just an idea without meaning until science developed to support his theory. We are just in a position to understand what is philosophy and science.Just may be a drop in the ocean. So let us allow the younger with their beliefs.Tomorrow these beliefs may correct.


Why was it important that Greek philosophy which had been unknown to Europeans for centuries was re-introduced to Europe?

The reintroduction of Greek philosophy to Europe during the Renaissance sparked a revival of intellectual curiosity and critical thinking. It provided a rich source of knowledge and a foundation for new developments in various fields such as science, art, and politics. This influx of ideas from ancient Greece helped shift European society towards a more humanistic perspective, emphasizing reason and individualism.


Why philosophy called as science?

It's because the German word "Philosophie" is feminine that it's called *queen* rather than *king* of the sciences. The word translated as "queen" is *Herrin*, literally "mistress", in the sense of a female master; but translating it as "mistress" would of course be misleading. Philosophy should be master of the sciences, because, to speak with Heidegger, science does not think. Philosophy itself is not a science, not even the "absolute science". It is something intrinsically different to science. Nietzsche said psychology should be the queen of the sciences, but not as something intrinsically different, but as one science among others (even as a king is one man among others). Psychology should be the king of the sciences, according to him, and philosophy should be like their God. This is because philosophy first gives the sciences a purpose
